Thankyouplease

The illustrations are really kind of cool, which is what led me to pick the book up, but the story is really pretty lame — the main character is an obnoxious little snot who whines and complains and is basically rude in every way (with a parent who apparently lets her), until she falls asleep one day and dreams about a circus where each performer insists that she demonstrate some iota of politeness before she is allowed to participate; when she wakes up she’s a new child, all politeness. Ugh.
